Thread: Porcupine's Workbook

Porcupine, congrats on the ld series! I think this is great progress especially if you just got started with this. Ld quality and lenght improves over time, but still not all lds will be of the same quality and lenght. This is something normal but of course we all strive to make our dreams better and longer. One way to enhance dream quality is through anchoring - fully immense yourself in the dream, examine different objects with curiousity, tiny details, engage as many senses as possible.

Tonight I'm going to sleep normally. I'm pretty tired. DILDs are welcome though (Is there a good way to STOP one from lucid dreaming if one wishes?)

Why would you want to stop having lucid dreams? I think it may be possible to so by stopping all the practices, then you may only have natural lds depending on your awareness. But most of the people here want more lds, even those who ld daily. It's a great opportunity to do fun things or engage in self-improvement. The only limit to what we can do in dreams is our imagination.

Day 5-7

Thanks for the advice NyxCC I've been trying to anchor a little, but mostly by touching stuff. I'll try examining the details of the dream if I get the chance. And I didn't mean to make it sound like I wanted to stop LD! It was just a thought - curiosity Say you're in a lucid dream, is it even possible to become non-lucid on purpose without waking up? I don't think I'll experient with that though. As you said, most people want more LDs, and that includes me.

I've been slacking these last few days. The SSILD attempts really messed with my sleep, so I'm afraid I've been spending the holidays sleeping in instead of practising and keeping my dream journal up to date. When I don't actively try, I seem to remember between 1 and 3 dreams or at least fragments. It is funny though, my memory is different when I don't wake up and write the dream down. The dream seems more like a movie that I saw than something I participated in. But still fun though, last night I transformed into a green dragon

Anyways, tonight I'm getting back in the game. Note pad is ready, self-discipline is reeled in and I'm exited!
